Alexandre : Actors are so vulnerable!
Dr. Michael Nelson : Of course they are. Everyone is afraid of being judged. But actors are always being judged. In your work, and in your life!
Alexandre : Yes. We wonder what people think of us, if they love us. It must be the same for all performers. As a child, when Mozart was asked to play, he'd reply: "Gladly, but first say you love me."
Dr. Michael Nelson : And in your job, you're always kissing.
Alexandre : As you say, yes, we do a lot of kissing. The handshake was invented to show you're unarmed, friendly. We went one better: we show our love.
